The authors study the Cauchy problem (C): \[ u_ t+(u^{\lambda})=(u^ m)_{xx}in\quad S_ T,\quad u(,0)=u_ 0()\text{ on } P, \] where \(S_ T=\{(x,t):\) \(x\in {\mathbb{R}}\), \(0<t\leq T\}\) and \(u_ 0: {\mathbb{R}}\to {\mathbb{R}}^+\), and the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem (CD): \[ u_ t+(u^{\lambda})_ x=(u^ m)_{xx}\text{ in } H_ T,\quad u(0,)=u^ 0\text{ on } (0,T),\quad u(,0)=u_ 0()\text{ on } {\mathbb{R}}^+, \] where \(H_ T=\{(x,t)|\) \(x\in {\mathbb{R}}^+\), \(0<t<T\), \(u^ 0\in {\mathbb{R}}^+\), \(u_ 0: {\mathbb{R}}^+\to {\mathbb{R}}^+\) and \(u_ 0(0)=u^ 0\), \(m>1\), \(\lambda >0\) are constants. Under certain given conditions large time solutions of problems C and D in nontrivial wave case are constructed. It is shown that the weak solutions of problems C, and CD converge to rarefaction wave \(u^*\) of the reduced problems: \[ (C^{\infty})\quad u_ t+(u^{\lambda})_ x=0,\quad u(-\infty,)=u^-,\quad u(+\infty,)=u^+\quad and \] \[ (C^{\infty})\quad u_ t+(u^{\lambda})_ x=0,\quad u(0,)=u^ 0,\quad u(\infty,)=u^+. \] The authors employ techniques they developed in an earlier paper.
